The Stable channel has been updated to 24.0.1312.70 for Linux platform. This release contains an update to Flash (11.6.602.167). This Flash update has been pushed to Windows, Mac, and Chrome Frame platforms through component updater.

I wasn't aware of a "Component Updater" within Chrome until last night, when Norton Internet Security told me that pepflashplayer.dll was downloaded and it was safe. A little Goggling revealed the fact.

@Liverpool21 @miniwrld My Chrome @ home was updated at around 19:00 UTC, Feb. 13, a little after I turned on the computer and launched Chrome.

@Unknown I was going to ask the same question. I think standalone installer users will have to wait until the next stable release. Ouch!
